Netatalk 4.0.8

Netatalk 4.0.8 is available!

The Netatalk team is proud to announce the latest release in the Netatalk 4.0 release series.

This release improves interoperability on macOS hosts. For one, the error setlimits: Invalid argument error on older macOS hosts, such as 10.15 Catalina, should now be fixed. And secondly, the Meson build system now favors openldap Homebrew libraries if installed, which avoids linking with Apple's deprecated LDAP.Framework, and therefore bypasses the Objective-C fork safety assertions.

Additionally, it is now possible to disable CUPS in papd with -Dwith-cups=false.
